Academic Conference: Meg Hourihan as keynote

Sorry for late notice, but anyone interested in travelling to Chicago-area
at the end of March might be interested in the following Call For Papers for
an academic conference. Conference is Friday and Saturday, which leaves time
for exploration of Chicago and the area on Saturday evening and Sunday,
depending on travel plans.

Personally, I'd love to see a P2PJ panel come about, especially since this
year sees the Communication/Journalism Department at the host university
more involved in the project.

Deadline is February 1, 2003. As I'm a conference planner, though, I'd
accept abstracts up through the following Friday, Feb. 7, if sent directly
to me at [email protected] (Matt Duncan).
